There are some awesome pictures here...I'd never really thought of riding at night. Guess if you've got a good crew it could be a lot of fun. I've learned riding alone not only sucks, but is dangerous too --

Let me preface by saying this was shot with a cell phone camera, but totally captured the memory and spirit of the cold, wet, drizzly and foggy night we rode there whenever we look at it ! - @ Vietnam, Milford, MA and for those in the know ..... yes we got our huck on in the dark !!! Crazy ......

Night Aerial Videos soon!! Day time aerial online now

Very nice night shots on this forum.. I hope to be posting night aerial shots using a RC copter soon.
This forum won't allow me to post links yet but check out my aerial video ot Tapia Canyon, in Castaic CA.
Search camerajumper1 on youtube you'll see my channel. Many other aerial videos as well.

I've sprained my knee or something to that extent, so if I cant ride I figured that I would at least take pics of folks riding in my absence. They're not my best, but I've learned a lot from doing the shots below.

The following are from one of the weekly night rides in Chattanooga, TN:

It's pretty hard to capture the Milky Way in the metro Phx area, but here is my best attempt taken at the 7-29-2013 night ride at McDowell Mountain Regional Park. Bikers behind me on the pump track provided foreground lighting over this 10 sec ISO 1000 exposure with a Canon 5D3 and Rokinon 14mm (f stop somewhere around 4).

My obsession with night photography is really messing with my biking habit, but I sure am having fun and the dogs love heading out to the hills for campouts in dark remote places.

Earlier this month, I joined a Brad Goldpaint landscape astrophotography workshop in the Oregon cascades and finally learned to do composite star trail shots...

I brought the skills back to my AZ home and went out to KOFA last weekend to shoot with a bit of moon to light the foreground.

And here is a shot of the early morning Zodiacal lights intersecting the faint side of the Milky Way. Orange glow is the the lights from Phoenix.

When I stay up all night to shoot photos, it is dificult to get on the bike early to beat the Arizona heat. Good thing fall is on the way and it's starting to cool a bit. Next project is to get night riders into my star time lapse photos!

The stars all rotate around the North Star, Polaris (over 24 hours). If you take 30 second exposures, and do them for roughly about 30 minutes, you can superimpose them into one image, thus showing the pattern the stars take.
